RE: Cost tables

Hi Nanna, thanks for your query. Insert a new Text Column, say Text2 then right click on the Text2 Field Heading and choose Customize Fields. Under custom attributes click the Formula button...and a dialogue builder (similar to the expression builder in Access) will appear, allowing you to build the formula you need, and very useful it is too!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
